A home which is metres away from a cliff edge and has suffered a series of landslides has gone on the market for £600,000.
Samantha Withers, director of Coast and Country Estate Agents, said the price that 'looks too good to be true' has seen house hunters flock to the listing hoping to scoop a bargain.
The historical village of Trimingham, North Norfolk, has suffered from coastal erosion and recent cliff slips - where an incident back in 2020 saw an area the size of two football pitches plummet to the beach below.
But to snap-up the six-bedroom property you need to have more than half a million pounds in cash at the ready - as mortgages aren't available due to its proximity to the cliff edge.
House hunter Heather Cullen, from Newark, Essex, said: "I'm attempting to buy a house.
"I was just astounded that they thought it would be a good idea to publicise it. I mean obviously they get a financial reward, but really?
"A house that's precariously close to an eroding coastline? I surely wasn't the only person to notice it within half a second."
Heather took to social media, tweeting: "Thanks Zoopla but I can't help noticing what appears to be a series of land slips..."
The period home sits on a plot of approximately 1.75 acres and is within walking distance of the sea and the North Norfolk coastal path.
The director of the family-run estate agency said the Victorian home, boasting sea views and a heated swimming pool, would offer its buyer 'the taste of the good life'.
But says potential buyers need to be 'fully aware' of the coastal erosion in the area.
Samantha said: "Cliff House is a truly beautiful property, full of period features, sitting on a two-acre plot, and boasts the most amazing sea views.
"All of which are appealing to buyers searching for a property on the North Norfolk Coast.
"The photos of the property show how idyllic the home and the location is, flaunting its coastal position, but it is also the price of the property which is what is making this Victorian House so popular on websites like Rightmove and Zoopla.
"The attractive price of £600,000 looks too good to be true, which is why this stunning property is gaining a lot of attention.
"We have many buyers calling our offices and asking 'why is beautiful home so cheap?'
"The answer, unfortunately, is that it is priced accordingly given the fact that potential buyers are unable to obtain a mortgage on the property, due to its proximity to the cliff edge.
"Trimingham has suffered from coastal erosion in the past and has had cliff slips recently, so banks are unwilling to lend against it. This alters the price of a property."
Samantha said the house would be suitable as a full-time home or as a holiday let investment.
She also said the current owners purchased the property as a holiday let which was generating a good income but a change of circumstances has meant the vendors are now looking to sell.
Samantha said: "The fact is, if this property was situated on a more protected coastal area, or slightly further inland, it would be marketed a lot higher than its current asking price.
"The pandemic has caused lots of buyers to leave the larger cities and bolt to more coastal and rural areas, so all our properties situated near the beach have proven to be very popular.
"The pandemic caused many buyers to rethink how and where they live.
"We've had buyers coming from doing two-three-hour daily commutes to work, to now working from home, closing their laptop off at 5pm and are down the beach walking the dog by 10 minutes past - they can't believe their new work/life balance.
"Cliff House would certainly offer the taste of the good life for someone relocating to North Norfolk - with the breath-taking views, the surrounding land and it even has a heated swimming pool.
"However, any buyer needs to be fully aware of the coastal erosion in the area."
The property description reads: "This six-bedroom Norfolk Flint house is spacious and versatile and is full of original Victorian features.
"Ground floor accommodation is comprised of a large entrance hall, a sitting room, snug, modern fitted kitchen with separate dining room, conservatory, shower room and a utility room.
"There is also a third reception room which is currently being used as a ground floor bedroom which boasts beautiful views of the sea and the gardens.
"A grand staircase leads up to the first floor landing that serves the family bathroom and five bedrooms, two with en-suites and all five of which benefit from stunning sea views.
"The whole plot extends to 1.75acres(stms). From the road there is a five-bar gate to a large gravel, tree-lined driveway leading to the front of the property where there is a bountiful orchard with plenty of fruit trees on the left-hand side.
"To the right - a brick-built pool room that houses the heated swimming pool.
"There is a large storage unit housing the biomass heating unit and lawned gardens wrap around the house where there are an abundance of mature trees, shrubs, and decorative borders.
"The large in and out gravel driveway offers parking for many vehicles.
